I think McCain's gonna be in for some fundraising trouble.

And he only had to spend one evening with Bush to get it, to bad spending time with Bush is good for his coffers, bad for his image.

I can't believe that there's anyone out there willing to fund this joker!

I won't…

Oh yeah, it's lobbyists… I forgot!

I'm sure he will get alot more. I will be sending my dollars to him if my candidate is not on the ticket.

*********************

I honestly think the rest of the world would fall over for a second if they see Mccain win, and another Bush term ahead…they will loose all hope in America and we will be known as the dumbest country ever, seriously we will be considered a joke if after 2000 and 2004 we still haven't learned…and some of the Clinton fanatics (i respect Clinton but some of her fanatics are amazing… are gonna help make that happen…I for one will start saving to move to Canada, let the fanatics enjoy their spoils as gas price's continue to go up, healthcare continue to rise, economy to implode, and China practically will own us…

*************

duh! with Bush and his lobbyist. i'm shock it's not More (with all the Gas Profit their making)

Did McCain mention 20million was from his wife.

with his speech Tuesday night, who will? Sad, granpa go home.

Most people never gave McCain a chance anyways, and the Obama clone army is flocking to Obama because of his idealism.

I say experience matters more, especially in a time like this where we need good, solid leadership.

McCain '08

McCain will definitely win the election. I, along with millions of Democrats, will definitely NOT vote for Obama no matter how hard his supportes and most of the mainstream media try to shove him down our throats. And PLEASE, don't play the race card with us.

He aint seen nothing yet!

He is about to face a fundraising Juggernaut in Obama like he could never imagine…

Watch Obama raise about $100M in June from small donors like myself…

I just donated $25 on http://www.barackobama.com (my 4th donation so far). It's soooo easy!!!

Thanks to DNC
For ignoring 18 Million votes ,in that 18 Million votes90 % whites
Hillary 08 or Mc Cain 08

"the rest of the world"

I totally agree with you, it's hard enough to believe people voted for Bush twice and plan to now vote for McCain.

Average Americans are screaming for better times, for this country and for the world…….sad that so many won't help get us there!

Since Bush is so great a fundraising can he help me and millions of other college students raise some tuition money.

McSame will not out raise Obama. And don't even think about it if he puts Clinton on his ticket. I'm a strong supporter of Obama, and I'm not fond of him putting Clinton on the ticket, but if he did, they would have my full blessing. I'd make sure they had a piece of each of my paychecks to help them win the election.

And what part of our livelyhood did he sell to lobbyist and special interest?

Didn't nearly $10 million come from those 3 closed door fund raisers with Bush? If each attendee donated the $2300 limit, they wouldn't reach half of that figure. Where did it come from?

We ARE the dumbest country.

We'd rather deal with a 3rd Bush term.

I can't wait to see when this bite Americans in the youknowwhat if McCain does take the crown.

You will all suffer even greatly and look like idiots when things don't get better. And then you will say, I wish I would have voted for Barack.

GIve it a rest, so you would rather vote for someone who has "experience" doing things that are not in line with your candidate, than vote for the candidate who wants to end the war, truly help the economy, bring about universal healthcare, and truly do things to help the many Americans who are not rich? If you answer, yes, May God help you.

Wow Lynn, you sound like the kind of person who would hurt her kids to get back at her ex.

Obama raised that in two weeks of campaigning in PA. Wait until you see Obama's numbers for May.

Lets have no more talk of Hillary. She has dishonored herself, her party, and her supporters by not conceding and falling into the ranks as did Edwards Et Al. She used the kitchen sink, reckless statements, and pouting to no avail. Now she wants to demand the VP position. From now on lets speak only of the issues:
· End the War
· Universal Healthcare
· Turn the Economy Around
· Fight the Greenhouse Effect
· Ensure a Women’s Right to Choose: Thanks leapfrog
Vote Obama

PS:
Dear “Voter”: Fact is, she got more votes than any primary candidate in US history, including BO.

And what good did it do her? Taking a popular vote to a delegate fight is like taking a knife to a gunfight.

But I do agree with you voter, Hillary should sit this one out. Keep your support. We will do it with out you. Most Republicans dislike McCain so thanks but we will take it from here.

seriously Lynn? you support a third Bush term as defiance for Hillary not being a VP?

so damaging for the feminist cause that you don't care what happens to the country?

how much is pac money?how much from lobbyists?how much from the elitist and wealthy republicans who have gotten filthy rich off the war in iraq?how much from his millionaire wife?crooked politicians= crooked money…

$21.5 Million in May.

Wow.

Wonder if his wife made him sign a Promissory Note.

Go Johnny Go!

Fair warning to Obama supporters, now that we're not giving to Hillary, Senator McCain should benefit handsomely.

Hiilary or McCain 2008 - for the sake of Democracy

I see a huge month coming up for Obama. Let's beat this Joker McCain.

What a waist of money. Obama will beat McSame as Bush no matter how much money he takes in.
Obana08

NO MORE BUSH POLICY!!!!!!!!!

DEMOCRATS UNITE AND TAKE OUT THIS OLD MAN!

mccain raise all the money u can u will lose

Don't worry DNC and Senator Obama.

Our contributions are starting for this month now the the primary is officially over.

*************************************************
Lynn,
Whom are you taking revenge upon? Yourself?

Is Gas prices not high enough?
Is the number of US casualties in Iraq not big enough?
Is the Economy not worse enough?
Is the world-reputation of USA not bad enough?

I am a woman and a Hillary supporter and I disapprove your message.
*************************************************
No McCain.

The Sexist Democratic Party made it loud and clear they don't like women. So, in November, myself and millions of other white women will make sure they understand that we don't like their black boy either!!!!

McCain in 2008.

I cannot wait see the TV commercials
24/7 about Hussein Obama with the
2 pastors,terrorist Ayers,Rezko scandal,
his indonesian step-father,kenyan father
etc,Michelle's anti-american comments,
and much more………
He needs 270 electoral votes to win.
Very interesting year.

It is preposterous to even compare Obama to McCain. McCain has so much integrity, character and experience in his little finger that Obama cannot even imagine to ever get. Yes, I will be sending my money to McCain.

Let's see if McCain's willing to publicize who those donors are like Obama does.

It doesn't manner.

Unless $21.5m can buy Mcshame a new personality, debating skills, and a clue about the economy…….then he will still be toast in November.

Obama/Clinton '08.

Great.

The campaign now begins.

Don't worry, Obama will win all the caucus states.

What? No caucuses?

Lynn,

Hillary would be disappointed in you. Grow up and vote on issues, not revenge.

Democrats '08!

Waoh Breaking News………

It is most likely due to the Clinton supporters who are very disappointed with the DNC. I am not one that will go that far, at least not yet..Obama must find weaker person then himself to be a running mate. Good luck with that prospect. I am a democrat, I am not a Republican. I have voted for Republicans in the past because the Democratic Party chose the wrong person in my opinion. It was also the opinion of a lot of other democratcs who crossed over to vote for Reagan. I do not believe Obama is the best person for the job. The DNC has been trying to force Hillary out of the race for along time. That is what I find objectionable. The media has given Obama a free ride. The Wright issue came out because they finally had no choice but to air it. I am not happy my candidate lost, that is true. Once again I am forced to choose an alternative to the nominee. I choose to write in Hillary Clinton. If McCain can get Colin Powell as a running mate I might crossover instead of a write-in for Hillary.

Oh and for the people who are saying they are voting for McCain if their candidate Hillary isn't on the ticket are obviously mad and bitter.

McCain and Hillary do not have the same ideas when it comes to the important issues at hand. They are like day and night.

So how can you go from one end of the spectrum to the other? Makes no sense and shows the bitterness.

How much of that came from McCain's Social Security check?

A VOTE FOR MCSAME IS A VOTE FOR THE PAST, WAY PAST.

HE IS A LIER, BIGOT & THIEF & OUT OF HIS MIND.

The Nation of Islam
In the early 1930s, a man named Fard Mohammed founded the Nation of Islam (NOI), an organization that expanded under the leadership of Elijah Mohammed and is today led by Minister Louis Farrakhan. It was the NOI that Malcolm X first joined but later left to enter mainstream Sunni Islam, just as did Warith Mohammed, son of Elijah Mohammed, upon the death of his father.

The Nation of Islam therefore became a major gateway into orthodox Sunni Islam for African Americans, whose descendants generally are referred to as “indigenous Muslims.” At the same time, many African Americans have remained in the Nation of Islam. NOI supporters claim membership of between 50,000 and 100,000. Their detractors say they number around 20,000.

The majority of Muslims in the United States, however, are immigrants and their descendants. The 1965 relaxation in U.S. immigration laws increased the inflow, which continues to this day. In Yvonne Haddad’s book The Muslims of America, Carol Stone used 1980 census data to demonstrate that the numbers of Muslims were highest in California, New York and Illinois. At that time, 400,000 Muslims lived in New York, 180,000 in Illinois and some 30 percent of America’s Muslims lived in California. Today those numbers have more than doubled, and large numbers of Muslims are found in New Jersey, Connecticut, Florida, Texas, Arizona and Michigan. A sizeable concentration also is found around the U.S. national capital in Washington, DC, Maryland and Virginia.

Look where obama got his votes from.

If I have to, I will even vote for YOU- just to send my own party of 35 years the message that I want fair elections, and no campaign of hate.

First option- vote for the best candidate by writing in HRC

If John McCain appears a bit “stiff” to you, rather than “bouncy” like Senator Obama, here’s why:

• In 1967 McCain escaped from his burning jet during the USS Forrestal fire. While helping another pilot escape, exploded bomb fragments struck him in the legs and chest.
• Later that year, his Skyhawk was shot down over Hanoi.
• McCain fractured both arms and a leg, and then nearly drowned, when he parachuted into a lake.
• After he regained consciousness, a crowd attacked him, crushed his shoulder with a rifle butt, and bayoneted him.
• He was transported to Hoa Lo Prison, the "Hanoi Hilton."
• Now having lost 50 pounds, in a chest cast, and with his hair turned white, a program of severe torture began on McCain.
• He was subjected to 2-3 beatings per week, as well as rope bindings.
• His injuries left him permanently incapable of raising his arms above his head.
• McCain was put into solitary confinement for 2 years.
• Altogether, John McCain was held as a prisoner of war in North Vietnam for 5-1/2 years.

This man scares me….

Fact is McCain has not needed to have alot of money because his primary has been done for awhile. So while Obama and all his robot supporters waste money on their primary and will have less to give during the general election, McCain's supporters will be able to continue to support him.
As far as the world thinking America dumb if McCain wins, the view of America has only been formed by the Democrats continually rooting for America to fail in their blind ambition for power.

The best politcal polls are how much cash can you raise and how many people go out of their way to show up to see and hear you speak.

These polls show "Proactiveness" and count more than answering questions from a phone call.

These "Proactive" polls means theres a greater chance that you'll show up to vote.

Lynn:

I find it difficult to believe that you along with many others constantly throw out the threat of "taking my toys from the sandbox if I can't play" type of scenario. I think Clinton ran a campaign filled with tenacity and spirit, but because her campaign managers made some vital mistakes, it put her behind. It did not help that she was constantly on the attack-which only gives fodder to the Republican to use in the General Election. Perhaps not everyone's candidate was nominated, but for the good of the country, I think it might be a good idea to take the candidate who has won and try to make sure he is elected . By giving your money, time, and vote to McCain, you are agreeing with his philosophy against Roe vs. Wade, the war in Iraq, and tax cuts for the wealthiest. If you are indeed a Democrat, I just don't understand how you could switch that easily in all of these areas.

"Former Democrat"

So what exactly is your "card"?

To "The rest of the world": Go ahead and save for that trip. The whole idea of McCain being a 'third Bush term' is an insane political catch phrase. Look at the voting records before actually spouting off as if you know something. Also, gas prices, the economy, and healthcare are not the exclussive fault of this President. I'm not a huge fan of Bush or McCain honestly, but both of them recieve far too much bashing than they deserve…all from people who read a headline or three and think that they understand everything about amazingly complex situations. FYI, I'm not a fanatic supporter of anyone at this point. My candidate did not make it onto the ballot.

Senator Clinton supporters that won't vote for Senator Obama, but will vote for Senator McCain - now is the time to put your money where your mouth is. Senator McCain needs your money to run his campaign.

On second thought since your finances are in the toilet because of Bush's economic policies and you can't spare a dime - you should vote Democratic in the general election.

McCain is his own man. All that talk of 4 more Bush years is utter nonsense. JM is a leader. BO is a media creation, all fluff and no substance.

Great! This fundraising record motivates me to donate another $50.00 to Obama!!!!!

Former Democrat: You are an idiot. If McCain wins, I know that you will be first in line at the local soup kitchen!!

Obama '08

who is giving him money? his wife is LOADED.

and furthermore, who cares? he's a war-monger old poop! He can't say he'll run again in 2012 because by then he'll be a 100. How can even run for president now? i mean he's 71…so by then he'll be 75-76…thats tooo old for the stress of running a country. A country that is at war with another country and we'll stay that way and not to mention we will be unable to drive because gas will be $6-7 a gallon, AND (i'm not done yet) our senior citizens will just sol because he wants to privatize social security, and to top it all off…he is the most boring speaker ever in the history of the world. He has no charisma, he doesn't have any energy when he speaks. Its sad.

Please people….don't vote for this man.

OBAMA 08! Lets make a difference.

post me please. cnn never posts me! maybe I'm too on point for them or something.

I know some of you Senator Clinton fans maybe sad and disapointed. But please think before you vote for McCain. If McCain wins — do you really think she OR any of her supporters will have any voice with McCain. Nooooo….she'll have no power….no base…nothing. With Obama…she is going to have a LOT of power regardless of being VP or not. She has a ton of supporters in congress and with you, Obama will need to listen to her.

A Vote for McCain Is a Vote Against Clinton — think about it

What's the matter, John? Hasn't your marriage with Bush policy netted any of that GOP big-donor cash yet? Apparently they still think you're one ugly bride.

Why will some democrats switch parties and vote Republican because Hillary was "Treated badly", or a victim of "Sexism".
As if Barack had anything to do with that…

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't it Bill Clinton that said "Politics is a contact sport…" And "if you can't stand the heat.." Oh, I guess that only applied to Barack.

Please, let us put this foolishness behind us and unite as a party.

John McShame has nothing to offer this country.

Well, I–along with millions of other former Republicans and Independents–will definitely vote FOR Senator Obama. Not to mention millions of folks who have never voted before, period. In my family alone, 6 people are newly registered and ready to go to the polls for Barack.

Thank you, next please.

Are you SURE this man is healthy enough to withstand the stress of the presidency?

"THE REST OF THE WORLD WOULD FALL OVER" if they knew the amount of money we're willing to give to the media instead of to hungry children, disaster victims, impoverished schools, the homeless, the sick. Oops, we ARE sick, for our immoral spending choices.

Tides are turning! Let's go Mc Cain! I am not ready for an Intern yet. I will not let the future to be ruled by an arrogant Intern. This goes to all HILLARY supporters who worked hard to have her nominated but was robbed. Let's cut this bull.. & elect an able President, McCain!

WE ARE BETTER OFF VOTING FOR BUSH AGAIN.

HE IS YOUNGER & MIGHT HAVE LEARNED SOMTHING

FROM HIS MISTAKES. THIS OLD KOOTE IS PROUD OF

HIS 1930S THINKING. AND OUT OF HIS EVERLIVING BIRD.

WE WOULD FIND OURSELVES IN A DEPRESSION IN 6 MONTHS.

DUMB HEAD DOESN'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO SPELL ECONOMICS.

I can't wait to see Obama's numbers for June. I know a lot of people did not want to donate until there was a clear democratic nominee, and who now will send their money to Obama.

And for the record, every former Clinton supporter I know, including me, will be happily voting for Obama in November. Anyone on these blogs who says otherwise is a McCain troll.

LMAO!

21.5 billion won't get this douche bag elected! hahaha!

Are your efforts and sacrificed bingo nights really worth it? hahaha.. keep trying Grandpa!

sorry but you guys were already considered kind of a joke back in 2004 by ROW - time to make the best of it this time around…

Watch out!! All the Hillary Clinton supporters that are feeling slighted because they rushed her into a decision, instead of giving her a few days to regroup will be funding McCain to the max!!! I should know!! I will be one of them!!!

Time to send the Democrats and the DNC the right mesage:

No to fixed primaries.

No to unfair elections.

No bashing of a fellow democrat

No trashing of another democratic candidate.

No corruption in our politics of change.

Vote for REAL change- vote for Hillary Clinton- write her name in.

Lynn, why would you send money to McCain when your candidate has $20 Million in debt. Please help Senator Clinton pay off her debt!

Any why would you vote for McCain? Just to stick a knife in Hillary's back? Do you think Hillary wants to sit by and watch McCain appoint Supreme Court Justices, block universal health care, send more money to Iraq in exchange for body bags? I'm a Hillary supporter. I'm voting for Obama this fall, just like most of us. Hillary supporters who say they will vote for McCain are a very small minority. The rest of us are sane.

You've been drinking the Obama koolaide. McCain iis going to be just fine against the very weak Democratic candidate. Obama will not be elected in this country.

'Lynn' are you serious? Considering how opposite Sen. McCain's policies are in contrast to Sen. Clinton's - your not voting for Sen. Obama does not make sense.

You are not sticking it to Sen. Obama by voting for McCain/McSame. Further, who are we to decide who Sen. Obama chooses as a running mate? With Caroline Kennedy on the vice-president search committee, Sen. Clinton can kiss that opportunity goodbye. And why choose someone that thinks you are not qualified to be President? Not to mention the baggage of former President Clinton. That choice is more headache than its worth. Its clear he does not need her to win.

What other nominee in history has been strong armed this way? Let's see, none….

> I, along with millions of Democrats, will definitely NOT vote for Obama
> no matter how hard his supportes and most of the mainstream media
> try to shove him down our throats.

Please do… but don't come to us Obama supporters (who are mostly well off) when you need a handout after a sustained housing crisis, cuts in healthcare (love that $5000 tax credit), cuts in social security and outsourcing of jobs. You are responsible for the bed you make.

The money will now start to come in for the Republicans. Until now, its all gone to the Democrats to feed the destruction of both Clinton and Obuma. Now that the revenue streams for the Democrats have dried up and they've wasted it all on the primaries, the Republicans will probably get a 2-1 bump in money for the GE.

McCain has just began. He will raise even more money when the Reagan democrats kick in. McCain is a moderate republican and is very strong on national security.

Yes experience is so great. The experience of Cheney and Rumsfield was such a beautiful thing. They really helped this country soar.

Out with the lot of them and their experience.

Obama now and in November. The better candidate will win.

I donated!

McCain/Huck '08
Huck '12

All the democrats that were hated and despised by their own party for voting for the better candidate….
Time to defect from the party.

Not to McCain- but to HRC.

Exercise your right to WRITE her name in in Nov.

Although I was supporting Obama, if Clinton had won the nomination I would have voted for her. Anything to get the type of administration that we currently have out of there. They have harmed this country in so many ways that it might take many years for things to be righted again. The Republicans DREAM of the divisiveness that most certainly is trying to engulf the Democratic party at this time. In order to win in November and set the country on a better course, we have to try to unite everyone. Of course, that's just my opinion.

Yeah, this is about as good as it gets for McCain. His stance on issues is so backward, so out of touch and he has the audacity to come on national T.V. the night that Senator Obama won the number of delegates to be the democratic nominee and make comments like he is the right change. Get real, he makes me sick! O.k. Mr. Right Change, why don't you support the new GI Bill? As a former service member and a person with common sense (I hope), I am for it and cannot see how providing better benefits for THOSE WHO PUT THEIR LIFE ON THE LINE FOR THE DEMOCRACY YOU SWEAR YOU WILL DEFEND, will cause a max exodous. If anything, good GI Bills created more enlistments. How do I know, because most of the young men I join the service with, joined to take advantage of the BENEFITS! Out of touch! That is what you are voting for if you support John McCain. Ask him if he even talked to the men and women the new GI Bill will affect to get their perspective or young men and women who could potentially join the service? Guarantee you he did not.

Let's see if McCain's willing to publicize who those donors are like Obama does.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I would trust Senator McCain will employ the Right Wing hit groups to maintain their silents during this presidential race. If they do not I surly do not see Senator Obama supporters sitting on the side lines and allowing him to be swift boated.=====

Further, I wish Senator McCain all the luck in the world in his hunt for campaign funds.

Lynn,

I truly hope you are a neocon, if not, than go ahead, be selfish, put yourself before you neighbor. Disgrace everything HRC stands for, help ruin her career that you say you are so strong for. Enough! Go ahead with it already!

Dems Unite

McCain will do fine in fundraising. Obama will need to get much more specific in his talks and stop so much sloganizing if he will continue to grow his coalition of small donors. I support Obama, but BIG MONEY will make their voice heard and Obama will need to broaden to address this.

I refuse to worry about bitter Clinton supporters who are willing to vote against their interest because they are hurt and disappointed. That's childish behavior in the face of such monumental challenges faced by this country. If they like McCain and his policies, fine. But a protest vote is a right that is only exercised at their own peril.

HE WILL NEED EVER PENNY AND STILL WANT BE ENOUGH

Lynn,
Cut off your nose to spite your face much?

Thank you to the rest of the world. I truly hope that the democrats will unite with or without Hillary on the ticket. We all must understand that nothing will change if McCain is elected. We will all CONTINUE TO SUFFER. We were blessed to have 2 excellent democrats enter this contest. With either one of them elected we would have drastic positvie changes. Democrats voting for McCain is obsurd, you will only hurt yourselves in the long run. If you trully support Hillary you will follow her lead and unite the democrats with Obama and put a democrat in office.

"That's not change we can believe in…" blink blink blink blink

He will be getting a lot more once the former Democratic Party Hillary supporters start contributing. You know, the people to whom the Democratic Party said screw you.

Hillary supporters…

Hillary is going to endorse Obama on Saturday, why can't you get behind the Democratic nominee?

Why are you making the rest of us suffer for transgressions that were committed by the media and whoever else.

Obama ran his campaign and Hillary ran hers. Only one person can win. If Hillary can be gracious and support the Democratic nominee, you should really all think very long and hard about what your true motives are.

Just wait until Bush brings in the big oil companies, more money is on the way for McWar

I'm looking forward to an exciting, substantive race. The candidates are very different, and each one has strengths and weaknesses. From the beginning, I have hoped for a matchup between two individuals with integrity and now we have it. I am really stoked about the town hall meetings - as Americans, we deserve to seen a campaign that is both civil and intelligent. We;ve seen far too little of that in the last 18 years. I hope the worst of it is behind us and I urge McCain to make sure the arguments are about policy rather than about swift boats and ministers.

I will vote for the very best choice

That is Hillary Clinton.

And… I will say clearly to the DNC and the democratic party- do not fix elections. I want fair play, fair elections, no hatred against fellow democrats.

Hillary will unite the entire country.

Write in Hill for a Nov win

SHAME ON ALL who will cast a protest vote for McCain. If you hate Obama that much then do the right thing and STAY HOME. DON'T destroy our already tattered nation out of spite.

Look in the mirror and ask yourself if you honestly think McCain would be better? Putting MCain in the White House will not bring Hillary back. You think that she'll win in 2012 if McCain wins now? She will be destroyed as a power because she couldn't deliver you back to the Dem. Party. If you think she got a raw deal this time, try your little stunt and see what she AND you get. Heck, there won't be a country to be President of in 2012 if we stay on this road. Think before you vote, people!!!!!

This won't matter. The brand is worthless and people know it.

You can't revive a brand that has been so thoroughly damaged in 5 months. People will always be far too suspicious to give it another try… This coming from a branding consultant.

Unfortunatley for Republicans, this was over the moment Barack Obama won the Democratic nomination.

Lynn June 5th, 2008 1:13 pm ET

I'm sure he will get alot more. I will be sending my dollars to him if my candidate is not on the ticket.
———————————————————————————-

Lynn -

Makes perfect sense to me. Support the person most opposite of "your" candidate. BRILLIANT!!!!!

It'll be a lot more in June. I donated last night to McCain and will continue to do so until I reach the max, just like I did with Hillary. I also switched my party affiliation from Democrat after 30 years. I am now an Independent for McCain.

McCain '08, Clinton '12

Go McCain! Go McCain! Go McCain! Go McCain!

Go Republican!

I can't stand these Clinton supporters.

They aren't voting for McCain because they don't like the democratic nominee, it is out of spite because the Democratic party didn't throw the election results out the window and nominate Clinton.

Your candidate lost, don't be a sore loser.

It is pathetic.

It's like "You had better give the nominee to Clinton, regardless of the fact that she lost… OR ELSE!!!"

It is ridiculous and you only represent a small number of Clinton supporters, don't think you represent any high proportion of her 18 million voters.

Most of them aren't as simple as you are.

He is going to get lots of money from lobbiests , I bet !!! But we, THE PEOPLE, will give money to the Obama camp as we now trully believe that we're going to take this country back from this irresponsible bloody government !!! OBAMA 2008-2016 !!!

Obama will get another $500 from me! Ownership of this campaign is exciting. I'm so happy Barack asked the DNC to refuse money from PAC and corporations.

Hmmmm - could his closed-door, invitation only fund-raiser with Georgy Pordgy Bush have made the difference?? It's a bit amusing and pathetic, don't you think?? He can't raise enough money to sputter along with Bush's big-wigs.

Kudos to Obama for declining lobbyist and PAC money and louder kudos for insisting that the DNC do the same!

We're smarter than you think, Senator McCain…get ready for a new kind of political battle.

Wow some people will never learn. Voting for a man b/c your candidate lost. The last time I checked the legal voting age is 18 and over so let us all act like adults and vote not based off emotions(hurt feelings, bruised egos,) but off of rational logical reasoning. Otherwise we will continue this vicious cycle of regretting your decision 1 yr into office.

Mc Cain is NO joke, . Good Job John we know your leadship will make your dream reality. Mr. Bush Thanks for your willingness to endure. McCain will bring back the Republican vote. I hope your critics are silent when you take the White House. GO MCCAIN, VOTE FOR JOHN MCCAIN!

Obama takes money from the spouses of lobbyists, but not the lobbyists themselves…yeah, like there is a difference!?!?!?

You Obamazombies need to wake up and read the fine print.

"I honestly think the rest of the world would fall over for a second if they see Mccain win, and another Bush term ahead"

To "the rest of the world":

It's a good thing that our politicians first and foremost follow the opinions of the rest of the world. (sarcasm). I'm sure if Obama is elected the first thing he will do is check his approval ratings in Italy. That is such an idiotic comment, I welcome and urge you to move to Canada because your education obviously has not caught up with your idealism. You belong with Susan Sarandon and the rest of the cry babies that moan when things don't go their way.

It is good to see Hillary out of the media once and for all. Don't take me bad but she made sure she overshadowed Obama's victory by being on 24hours news circle after she didn't concede nor congratulate her opponent. How pathetic!

LYNN PLEASE SEND YOUR DOLLAR BECAUSE THERE AIN'T NO WAY HRC IS ON OBAMA'S TICKET!

Just can't come to terms with it can you? A bit of advice for you socially uneducated. Get over yourselves. The world doesn't revolve around you and your views. You need to get out sometime and have some real adult conversation because you sound like a bunch of children. "I'm going to go vote for McSame because I don't like…well I can't say because then I'll be accused of being exactly what I am."

Listen, don't cry, it's okay. There's always another 4 years down the road.

To all those Hillary supporters that are going to vote for McCain…….if you are truly Democrats and truly believe in America as a whole, you will do the right thing and vote Democrat. If you are so angry that Hillary is not the nominee and you are going to vote McCain - it says one of two things 1) you really are not a Democrat and 2) you are a "professional feminist" and gender is all that matters to you, not policies, issues, or intelligence, just plain gender. That makes you an ignorant voter and for that matter an ignorant person

Not McCain

But Clinton.

Write in the name of the best qualified to lead this country.

Do not give the Democratic party and the DNC the Okay to tamper with future primaries.

Do not endorse the sexism and unfairness and cheating that was rampant in this primary.

Stand up for lady liberty- stand up for the RIGHT to vote and for equality for all.

To Former Democrat: You never were a democrat. Quit trolling.

John, you'll be receiving more campaign contribution from your new supporters, CLINTON DEMOCRATS. I've made my first campaign contribution for you this morning. You will be OUR NEXT PRESIDENT.

DEMOCRATS UNITED AGAINST OBAMA!

I love Obama……..I haven't even started sending him money yet………

Starting this friday I'll be sending 500.00 a month. So Lynn keep your change girl its ok……

take that to the bank.

OBAMA /WEBB OR SEBELIUS 08

Tara I'm 60 years old and I have always voted for Democrats but after watching the DNC, mean spirited blogs, media many democrats and people like you swiftboat one of their own. You are just like Republicans. After voting for Senator Clinton is our primary I immediately change to independent.. The DNC and many democrats think they can win the election without the 18million. Alot of them will be voting for the other side.

For McCain:
Tenure does not equal experience
and Experience could be in the wrong areas

Vision, wisdom, tenacity = Obama

Former Democrat, If you are willing to vote for a candidate that is the antithesis of what Hillary stands for because of spite, then you are not playing the race card, you are playing the idiot card

Changed in Chino Hills
———————————

What stess? Did Pres Bush have any stress?
The citizens will have the stress.

Get over it McCain fans, Barack is a rock star, royality, and John F. Kennedy reincarnated. Camelot is coming back to this country and it's name is Obama! The US needs a royal leader so we can improve our standing in the world! Barack is bigger then being President of the United States. He's President of the entire WORLD! All the accomplishments in his life shows he's the man that can unite the universe! Barack will take the wealth of the US and distribute it to all the needy people of the world. We all will have to work harder, pay more taxes, and have less freedom, but it will be worth it.

honestly, i can't wait until the election is over and we have a new president.

I'm so tired of hearing how great Obama is… where is the proof? What has this man done, other than give some rhetorical speeches that "make ya feel good"?

Obama will be a disaster. Guaranteed.

It's about time we stop this talk about a "Bush third term". It's convenient rhetoric but anyone who sees and listens to McCain knows it's fiction. The fact that he can talk to Bush, the very man who personally attacked his family in 2000 and the fact that he speaks highly of Hillary shows you he's not afraid to reach out and bridge. This is a mark of true leader. Americans need a dose of reality and not hot air. These are difficult times that require tried and tested leaders.

it is disheartening to see women so bitter about hil losing that they would support mccain.. we had to fight to get the right to vote.. lets make a smart voice and not a spiteful one.. hilary and john mccain are night and day on the issues.. barack and hilary are identical on the issues

To " Former Democrat" - speak for yourself and if you feel you know 'millions of Democrats' who think like you - maybe you should have stood for the elections yourself !

Good…
Give Obama the installed puppet a run for his money.

Me… I will vote my conscience.

No to Obama
No to McCain
Yes to Clinton.

Write hillary in.

It's Cheney's money! lol

Man, this country is stupider than I thought. Yeah, only you guys funding this disaster can be described with a word like STUPIDER!

Of those donors the top 3 inculde:
1. People with Confederate flags on their cars
2. White southern men
3. George Bush

I can't wait for a McCain presidency!!

why do i feel like im at church everytime i hear obama's speeches, and boy the more the crowd gets all excited he goes into his REV WRIGHT mode, well, he had 20 years to study his delivery, he can throw it down man, what a preacher

I don't care if Hillary is on the ticket, I hope she isn't. She is suspending her candidacy she is keeping all her delegates until August I am sure, just in case something happens and she needs to re-enter and I am sure if she were VP she would not re-enter.

I too am supporting McCain a switched democrat and proud of it.

I am a lifelong democrat and I will NOT vote for Obama. Obama is evil and his wife is a witch. I will vote for McCain. I do not care if our troops are in Iraq for 100 more years. I will NEVER vote for Obama.

Are you serious CNN only place I can comment is under McCain?????Give me a break CNN.

I am not interested in McCain period. I do want to comment on Obama, the Democratic nominee since I am a democrat. I have a question and I hope someone can answer me today.

Hillary is "suspending" her campaign - what does that mean exactly????? Why not "END" her campaign???? And I heard on Fox news of all places to turn to, that it meant she was holding her delegates and that she may want a place on the nominating ticket - is that at Convenion or on the ballot????? I am confused only because I know how divisive and dishonest Clintons are.

CAN ANYONE OUT THERE EXPLAIN IT TO ME????

GO OBAMA

Is Obama physically fit for the presidency? Of course he is! He's over his drug problems, isn't he?

Changed in Chino–the man, as you refer to Sen. McCain managed to withstand 5 years as a POW in Vietnam. I am pretty sure that he has a reserve of strenght that you would not begin to understand. Also, he my have genetic's on his side. After all, his mother is still living into her 90's.

I BET OBAMAS WAS LIKE $30+ MILLION

Glad to hear it. A lot of us moderate Democrats will be voting for him now.

@ the rest of the world. Good reason to vote for McCain if it gets people like you to move to Canada. Say hi to Susan Sarandon when you get there, and don't let the door hit your butt on the way out. By the way, gas costs more in Canada, and your taxes will double.

Like many Clinton supporters, I don't like Obama … I can not longer recognize, nor do I like the Democratic party anymore … therefore, I wish Hillary would run as an Independent. It's worked for other candidates … like Joe Leiberman. At least as an independent democracy would prevail if Hillary won the popular vote … again.
If Hillary decides not to run as an Independent, I hope that millions of Hillary supporters will join me in voting for Senator John McCain.

I wonder how McCain and his crowds he speaks to numbering in the High Teens plan to stop the Millions of us who want change? I am personally just waiting to make sure that Hillary is NOT on the Ticket and My Familys Money will NOT go to pay off HER bad debt that she built up simply because she was trying to build a case for VP before we start to send $$$ again to Obama. But when we do it will be more than the last $400.00 to be sure!

I actually liked McCain before he began his pandering. I had hoped it would come down to Obama and McCain. Now McCain has flip flopped so incredibly. One being the tax cuts for the wealthy. He was against it at first, but realized he has to appeal to the wealthy Republicans to have a chance. Shame on you John.

Anna:

You may think it silly to compare Obama and McCain, but a recent Time article compared historic figures in regards to experience vs. inexperience, and experience did not win every time. Think about Buchanan and Lincoln. President Lincoln had no experience at all and neither did Kennedy. Unfortunately, our current President didn't have any experience either. Obviously, he did not surround himself with good people who were actually working for the good of the country. I would think that if a candidate is intelligent enough to do this, he might stand a chance. Besides, how do you actually have experience being the President if you have never been the President?

McCain is a symbol of a bygone era - one that this country should finally put behind it. No more Bush cronies in office…lets turn this country around for the better.

Not a bad amount for someone who was not in the news that often and not being seen by the public too much. Unfortunateely for him most of it was "one-shot" money, big donors who can only give one time.

Hello, John McCain!

I heard you're laying out a welcome mat for HRC's supporters. I am one of them and I will be voting for you if I cannot vote for Hillary. Obama hatemongers say I am mad and bitter. I am absolutely NOT. You see, I don't get mad, I get even!

———————————————————————————————–
Lynn June 5th, 2008 1:13 pm ET

I'm sure he will get alot more. I will be sending my dollars to him if my candidate is not on the ticket.
———————————————————————————————–

Lynn

You should be sending it to your candidate, you know she is still owing $20m.

What McCain has is chicken change compared to what Obama will be recieving now he has the nomination.

as a democrat, im voting for mccain, i think he is a smart man an has the experiance to take this country where it needs to go. there is to much baggages with obama. an why do we need to get behind the party did they get behind my canidate, no . hillary has done more for this party then anyone else. they stink. i really hope all the hillary supporters send the DNC a message. also there seems to be a tape floating around about obamas wife an how she really hates whites, also what happened to her thiese from prinston it seems to have dissappered whats up with that someone need to look into these things.

"Experience" gave us Vietnam and, now, Iraq. It will most likely give us more Iraq and, in addition, Iran. And more power to the corporations and more neglect of US and World Poverty and more weapons and more destruction of the environment, etc. "

The only upside of "Experience' is that it might, just might,make us realize that it is TIME FOR CHANGE: talk with "enemies", build consensus for Peace and a good life for all.

DO NOT WASTE MORE MONEY ON "EXPERIENCE". GIVE IT TO CHANGE

Just sent my check to Senator McCain campaign yesterday.

Dear Clintonites:
Go ahead and vote for McSame if you must.
Give him the power to over turn Roe Vrs Wade.
The Christian Bible thumpers are waiting for you.

Hillary was un-electable. 47% of Republicans and swingers
hate her.
Swing voters seem to like Obama.
So we gotta do what we gotta do.
That's our best chance.

If Obama can't win the election after 8 years of Bush…After polls that show Bushes popularity down the tubes….After most Republicans to date losing their elections…then something is wrong. This should be no contest for the Democrates to win in a year such as this. I am surprised that Obama isn't much higher in the polls than he is. I am surprised they say this is going to be a close race.

Mr. McCain- I will be absolutely giving donations to your campaign. You are the leader we need to turn this country around. Everyone knows OBama can deliver a nice speech, but what else? I'll take an american hero with experience over an elitist any day.

former democrat June 5th, 2008 1:17 pm ET

McCain will definitely win the election. I, along with millions of Democrats, will definitely NOT vote for Obama no matter how hard his supportes and most of the mainstream media try to shove him down our throats. And PLEASE, don't play the race card with us.

YET ANOTHER FAKE POST! They will be Posting until December IGNORE THEM!!

If we want to keep Obama on a level playing field, financially, with those that playing "under the table," so to speak, we're gonna have to step up and do our part and contribute whatever we can, however small the contribution, to ensure that we send the message loud and clear, "YES WE CAN."

Remember "Don't ask what your country can do for you, but rather what can you do for your country."

Now let's get to work and blow this thing spectacularly sky-high.

I am very happy Clinton is out of the race. I contributed $100.00 to the Obama compaign on the primaries and I will be contributing $500.00 for the General election to beat the republicans remember obama have over two Millions contributers say if the average contribution is $200.00 he will have 400M we can do it democtrats we have to beat the Republicans.

Every one is saying
YES WE CAN
YES WE CAN
YES WE CAN
YES WE CAN

YOU OBAMA HATERS….I GUESS YOU WANT MY HUSBAND AND THE REST OF THE MEN & WOMEN IN IRAQ THERE FOR 100 YEARS…I WANT MY HUSBAND HOME….THIS IS HIS 3RD DEPLOYMENT AND ALL YOU PEOPLE CAN DO IS MAKE NASTY, BIAS REMARKS ABOUT OBAMA WITHOUT GIVING HIM A CHANCE….

IT REALLY SHOWS THAT RACE AND GENDER IS A FACTOR, BUT IT'S A SHAME BECAUSE RACE & GENDER DOES NOT COME INTO PLAY WHEN OVER 4,000 OF OUR TROOPS ARE DEAD BECAUSE OF THE POLITICS OF BUSH & MC CAIN…

AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED YOU ARE SPITTING ON ALL THESE LOST SOLDIERS GRAVES….

The funny thing is that most of that money is because Bush was fundraising for him over these same two months. The more money McCain raises, the closer to McBush he becomes… who now has a 25% approval rating. A bit of a dilemma I would say, but that is my take.

Thanks for reading,

Erick

HEY FORMER DEMOCRATE…wishing you could play with us ..butttttttt

IT'S OK, WE HAVE A NEW SET OF FRIENDS ON THE PLAYGROUND………(CONVERTED REPS, INDEP, 1ST TIMERS, STUDENT etc, etc, etc.)

AND GUESS WHAT?

WE HAVE OUR OWN BALL

PLAY OR NOT THIS GAME IS A WRAP

OBAMA 08

has someone noticed - this old man cant even raise his hands well, how does one expect him to raise a nation ???…

Lynn and John,

Who's Hillary?? Who is that??? I can't seem to find her… Oh yea, she lost and is no longer in the race. Too bad… Seems you'll have to vote for your own self serving bias over important issues. Looks like you two have just as much in common with that once-to-be president who is also self serving. Reality sucks huh???

McCain will be OUR next President, since Hillary is dropping, and WE don't want Obama!!!!!!!

Oh, those terrible Clinton supporters. They must be "mad and bitter." Right you are! I see BO doesn't seem to getting the usual "lift" in the polls that comes with crowning yourself. A dead heat, they say.

Well I guess you're glad we "nervy" Clinton supporters are finally backing down. No point in having us cluttering up the landscape when you've got WORK to do!!!

Why is it up to Hillary to "unite the party?" She lost. You ran her out. Remember? She, and be extension her supporters, owe you NADA. I love that myself. She's a monster, power hungry, lying, nasty, ambitious! CLINTON! BAD! Go away. And take your 18 million votes with you! Have I got it right? Who wants a Clinton around anyway? I pray she won't give in & take the VP slot - nobody needs to be connected to a LOSER!

I'll vote for McCain because he's an honorable man, has huge experience and is willing to cross the aisle even you people are on the other side in order to find solutions that benefit everyone, even you! As an old Washington hand, McCain understands that's how things really get done. And he has an actual record of accomplishment, unlike the verbose (will you please stop TALKING and TALKING and TALKING for hours on end) Mr. O.

McCain 08

Don't play the race card with Hillary supporters voting for McCain? How could we not, it is the inevitable conclusion that you are a racist if you vote for McCain instead of Obama and were previously a Hillary supporter. Either that or so stupid that you don't understand that this is bigger than your petty vendetta against the person who beat your beloved Clinton.

Most likely lobbyist money

Amazed and apalled that people or so called democrats can be so selfish that they would forget what McCain stands for and would consider voting for this killer of young adults. I fought in the first Gulf War. I also fought for the US in Somalia. In total I spent 8 years in the military and under no circumstances would I ever,ever vote for a person that looks at war and conflict as a means to an end.

Real soldiers never want to earn their checks. This person(McCain) can not wait to send the youth of our great country to their deaths in this trumped up war. For all the mistakes made in politics and to not learn anything from 7.5 years of strife under the Bush regime makes me sad to call any of you that support this would be murderer my countrymen.

Get over the loss. Hillary knew this would be rough. Hillary knew the stakes when she put her pantsuit in the ring. She gave as good as she got and there is NO SHAME in her failing to get the nomination. She is a fantastic person and leader and the party is lucky to have her. But, Hillary and the Clinton's have done enough for this country. 20 years is long enough to serve. It is time to take the next step forward. Not 4 steps back.
Obama 08

This man can't even barely handle a speech -and to withstand the stress of the presidency… the answer is no.

It's a good start.

We'll have rational people voting in November and they will look for Trust, Honesty and Experience.

The oratorical façade of Obama, a smooth-talking, accomplishments-bare, fist banging liberal naïveté will have faded by then and he will be seen for the inexperienced person he is.

Obama shows well, but lacks substance. An empty suit.

McCain '08

He has my full support now since Senator Clinton is not the nominee.

McCain in 2008!!!!

McCain can raise all he wants. It will never be enough to erase the very bad taste Americans have in their mouths about Republicans.

Lynn you are going to sorely disappointed come November. Either you will be an outcast by your own doing or crying about four more years of Bush and his puppy McSame. Nice doggy John/John

FORMER DEMOCRAT
you were never a democrat if you turn against your party because he is a black man and let us all face it - that would be the reason - have the guts to say so OK.
But if you want us to stay in this war and continue as we have for next maybe 4 years - go ahead your choice. That is the beauty of being in AMerica and an American - choices.

And if you are turning against your party because Hillary did not get it, well that is worse since we had two outstanding candidates with basically the same stance on issues……it does not make sense. But I guess your issues are not important unless Hillary tells you so.
Oh well, good luck new republican or independent or whatever you are now.
Me I am a democrat first so I say GO OBAMA

I am a lifelong Democrat. And have never agreed with many of the policies of the GOP.

However, I do credit the Republicans for one thing. They are definately wise enough to UNITE behind a single candidate. You don't here former Huckabee and Romney supporters complaining about the "rules", and their candidate should not have been "pushed out". At the end of the day, they are still all Republicans regardless of the nominee.

Too bad many of us (Democrats) don't share the same sentiments. It's not just about BARACK OR HILLARY at this point. We are all one.
Please put this foolishness behind us, and let the healing begin.

OBACK / CLINTON = UNITY.

Anna you are sad go ahead and send you money to Mccain. That old geeser don't even know what day it is let alone how much money he has until somebody tells him. Obama is going to mop the floor with this old bird, and you would have wasted you money. You are right about one thing, it ridiculous to compare Obama to grandpa, Obama is much more intellegent and loveable than that dinosour.

Obama 08-12

To Anna & Lynn

WERE YOU RAISED WITH A SILVER SPOON IN YOUR MOUTH? DO YOU HAVE KIDS? CONCERNED WITH THE FUTURE ANY? EVER EXPERIENCED POVERTY, LIMITED HOPE, LIMITED OPPORTUNITY?

Those are the reasons it's so easy for you to f–k over the rest of the country that is SUFFERING.

You joke.

all these so called Hillary supporters that will vote Mc Cain. Good!

You never were Hillary supporter to begin with you are lier's!

John Mc Cain would set back the womens movement 3 decades! Sen Clinton and Obama agree on 98% of all policy issues as stated by both of them. For you to vote for Mc Cain means you had no respect or admiration for Hillary Clinton or here values. Much like her all you people care about is yourselves!

As to money Obama has the capacity to raise an estimated 2.3 Billion dollars for his GE campaign Mc Cain will have around 78 million the DNC has been running a 50 state strategy since the last election cycle and now Sen Obama has his own 50 team working in concert with them in places the DNC has never even bothered to Campaign. This is going to be a walk away election! Largest landslide victory in US history. Final total Obama 72% Mc Cain 28%. Watch and see American people everywhere are standing up and getting in this process and it is time to make some real lasting change.

Party or principles… that is the question.

This lifelong was turned off by the new democrats- the hate, vulgarity, attacks, cheating, name-calling hypocrisy.

I will leave my party and join the Republicans.

But THIS Nov- I will still vote for the very best candidate. That is Hillary Clinton.

Stand-up, be counted, make real change, make history.

Believe me when I tell ya it's all from lobbyists. I don't think anyone in their right mind could donate to the repubs. I don't know how any enlightened person could ever vote repub in clear conscience. And Mark, cut the crap, we know you're working for his campaign.

How much of that will be for his legal defense fund for his three lawsuits, two over his Panamanian birth and the third over his FEC violations?

Barr or nothing in 2008, or America will collapse on itself from the combination of big government and voter stupidity.

I bet most of that money is from major industry and oil lobbies who want to preserve their welfare and right to pollute.

And those who claim that all Obama supporters are clones or uneducated display their ignorance with their own words. How ignorant and absolutist can one get?

Democrats for a better America in '08!

McCain is not the same as Bush. Those that believe McCain is simply a Bush spinoff clearly ignore his record. He is a moderate but has to play the conservative game to get elected.

Obama gets my money and my vote. McCain can retire with Bush. They are one in the same! Obama is the first Democrat that will get my vote.

"…with all the Gas Profit their making" - Florida voters who didn't Vote, 1:14

Their profit margin is virtually unchanged from the days of cheap gas. It's the volume they're selling. Thousands of businesses are screwing you (John Q. Public) harder. If you don't like them making money, quit buying it.

Vote Nader (dot) Org

Ima send Obama my $$$, can't let McCain think he is getting any type of legs. And to Hillary supporters who actually are considering McCain: don't u know that Hillary beleives in the same policies as Obama.

Don't vote against your economic interest, don't vote aginst Roe vs Wade, don't vote against Social Security, don't vote against Universal Healthcare. Let's bring our loved ones home…let's not continue to justify an unjustifiable war!

I'm getting sick of the Hillary supporters who claim to vote McCain.

YOU will be voting AGAINST everything she stood for.
YOU will be voting AGAINST women's rights.
YOU will be voting AGAINST independence from foreign oil.
YOU will be voting AGAINST universal healtcare.
YOU will be voting AGAINST moving forward.
YOU will be voting AGAINST the will of the people based upon some idea of revenge.

Review policies and standing, and voting records and you will see the sharp contrast between Obama and McCain as opposed to the slight contrast between Clinton and Obama.

As an Obama supporter, if Hillary had WON the primary I would vote for her. Because I know although my candidate didn't win the primary, she was the next best choice of what's available.

Please think about what you are doing.

If you truly want to vote for Hillary do what she says this weekend. If you believe in her candidacy you will vote for Obama.

MCCAIN = BUSH; BUSH = MCCAIN.

That's a fact, anyway you try to spin it.

Did anyone notice that McCain looks like an alien in that picture?
